Šárka got her law degree at Charles University in Prague in 2007, and after a decade in public service started working as a trade union lawyer.
Besides labour and public service law, her main interests are gender and sociological studies of the job market and workplace, and the future of work after the fourth industrial revolution.
Her opinions and analyses on these issues are often published by Czech media, online and in print.
Šárka is currently studying for her second master's degree at Charles University in Prague, this time in gender studies.
